I'm offering a special giveaway today! Some of you may be familiar with the XLV Countdown going on at Jerry's House on Friday at 7:30. Tim McGraw is the star performer and there will also be a special performance by classical pianist Van Cliburn. It should be a family friendly event and an excellent opportunity to see the new Cowboys stadium!

I recently had a shoot with my cousin and her 7 month old. He is incredibly cute and LOVES to smile. The only problem is that he like to see you smile too. As soon as you put the camera to your face, the smile disappears! The shoot consisted of focusing the camera and setting up the shot, then taking my face away from the camera so I could make noises, faces, and sounds to get him to smile. I think things turned out surprisingly well!

I had the privilege of taking some promotional photos for our church band. They have a concert coming up in October. It was a fun experience and everyone was very patient despite the 100 degree heat, bugs, and patch of poison ivy that one of the bass players was sitting in. Lens flare is a tricky thing and I had some great shots that would have been perfect, except the lead singer turned out looking like a cyborg. So, here are a couple of the final products.
